[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Gwangju Sarang Nanum Community (Representative Ju Jaehwan) announced on the 19th that on the 17th, they conducted a total craft and horticulture program together with two Dream Tree Malgeunnuri Regional Children's Centers as part of the Gwangju Metropolitan City nonprofit public interest support project.

On that day, after thorough checks including life quarantine for COVID-19 prevention, temperature checks, and hand sanitization, the program was held to provide a moment of healing through craft making for children at the regional children's centers who were spending gloomy days due to COVID-19.

Kim Sunhee, director of the Dream Tree Regional Children's Center, said, "I am glad to participate in a program that provides healing to children during these frustrating times, and it was very good to follow social distancing and work with skilled instructors."

The event was divided into two parts. In the first part, the total craft program (instructor Kim Mijeong) featured making emotional works using fragrant wooden frames with branches and moss.

Following that, the second part, the horticulture program (instructor Kim Jisuk), under the theme "Flowerful Challenge," was conducted with a Dracaena terrarium that allows children to find their rainbow dreams.

Finally, the program concluded with activities such as self-introductions for communication, rapport-building through bingo games, and finding one's dreams and strengths.

Community activist Son Changjin said, "We did our best to comply with quarantine activities and life rules to ensure safety from COVID-19, and we hope that children experience the preciousness and joy of life through various horticultural activities, communicate with plants, and gain emotional support and positive feedback."

Representative Ju Jaehwan stated, "The main point of the program was to experience a sense of accomplishment by completing a process that is difficult to challenge alone through cooperation, and to experience infinite positive synergy effects through integration. We hope the children grow and develop as healthy members of society."
